Today, Sun Life serves millions of Clients in Canada, the United States, Asia, the U.K. and other parts of the world. Through a network of Sun Life advisors, 3rd-party partners and other distributors, we help Clients achieve lifetime financial security.

For a century-and-a-half, Sun Life has been there for Clients – through wars, economic crises and natural disasters. We continue to operate with the same care that people have come to know and trust: Client focus, integrity, excellence, innovation, engagement and delivering value. These corporate values are reflected in every decision we make and every action we take.
